Charles,

I guess you have never done any kyak (spelling?), canoe, or bass boat
diving? That's where you set the gear over the side, jump in, and put it on.
Later, you take it off, climb in, and retrieve it. There's no need to be
rescued.

I'm not advocating QR, just pointing out why you might want to remove gear
on the surface.

Jack
